Aphrodite's Child were a Greek psych band in the late 60's-early 70's. I found their record "666" years ago in a bin somewhere and was attracted to the mythological lyrics on the back: "The day the walls of the cities will crumble away/uncovering our naked souls/we'll all start singing/shouting, screaming/loud, loud, loud, loud." Their music reminded me of another incredibly original European psych band called Magma, with bombastic jazzy prog parts giving way to weird windy reverb emptiness at times.
Another great Aphrodite's Child song has a short 12-word lyric structure: "Alas, alas/for the human race/alas/for the kings of separation." Wow! The song below is more traditional, though I would use that word loosely. The band was living in Paris at the time of this recording, and had more of a rock following. Later, with 666, keyboardist Vangelis would bring the group into a much deeper level of free-jazz and psychedelic exploration that would partially cause the group to break up.
Singer Demis Roussos has a heartbreaking voice that makes me think of Dino and the Belmonts having a nervous breakdown. Watch as he vibrattos his way into the sky in the song "End of the World:"
